Hm. Those who have used both, is the XL worth the extra $60? Portability isn't an issue as this thing wouldn't be leaving the house, I've just been more interested in the XL as it seems like a considerable step up in screen size.

If you're planning to get a game like Luigi's Mansion with the XL, you get a choice of one free 3DS game from a short list, so that can make up. The XL's larger screen size does help the eyes in longer playtimes, so I would say go for that. The original will hit this price again

I've owned both and can honestly say the XL is better than the vanilla in every possible way.

Get the XL it's worth the extra $60 especially if you dont plan on leaving the house with it.

Seriously considering to upgrade from my original 3DS at this price for the XL. Will have to think about it for a bit though. I'd love the bigger screens, but I also like carrying my 3DS in my pocket and this model might be uncomfortable to carry in such a way.

Best colour. Midnight Purple is really great looking (we have one). Too bad it's stuck to the OG model, which is a terrible piece of hardware. XL, even if you don't fancy the larger screen, feels like a better, more comfortable, solid piece of equipment.

When the system is closed it's honestly not that much bigger than the OG 3DS. It does fit in my pocket but I suppose if you plan to carry it that way for a while it may be sort of awkward.

What free game will you choose? I'll be getting a 3DS XL tomorrow too, along with Luigi's Mansion. I lean naturally towards Star Fox, even though I have that on virtual console already. Art Academy has gotten buzz every now and then, I've seen.

It's a tough decision, because I already have Mario 3D Land, Starfox and Layton.

The other two don't interest me that much, so I may just give the code to a friend.

Yes, Fire Emblem is amazing. I've put in 30 hours already from just doing extra missions and level grinding, very little time in the main story. It was hard to find a copy, but it's totally worth finding.

3D Land is the one I'd most likely choose for a free game. Star Fox is pretty easy to find cheap now, and Layton doesn't have the replayability of Mario.
